mysterious tongue

today i made it my mission to drink a lot of water - i'm trying to flush out my system. by the way, i should mention that every day i take several large vitamin pills that are as big as my head. they are seriously hard to swallow, but at least they are made from that gelatinous pill material instead of the hard kind. you must know what i'm talking about. some pills seem to have a nice soft coating with an oil-like substance inside and some have no coating at all - they just look like someone took a bunch of healthy junk and put it in one of those machine that sucks out the air really fast, sort of like when they pressure-marinate foods on iron chef. anyway, i've been taking omega 3-6-9 pills and they are big.

i was drinking water from the same metal bottle all day. just tap water from the kitchen at work. i bought the bottle at chapters and it should be high quality because it's the gaiam yoga brand but it's the worst. it has this blue design on it that is constantly coming off on my hands. for a while i thought every pen i had used was leaky ... can you imagine? i was on my fourth water bottle today, on the drive home from work, having a pretty good time, listening to a new jackie collins audiobook. i take a swig and something touches my mouth. something from ... inside ... the bottle. luckily i was waiting for this advanced green light that takes forever and could look into the bottle. inside was this white blob, a big white blob that looked like a giant tongue. i tried to touch it but the neck of the bottle was so small. what could it be?

i opened my car door and poured out some of the water. out came the mysterious tongue. i touched it (i know, gross, but i can't let it go without knowing what it was, it was in the bottle i was drinking out of all day). for a split second i thought that adymm had plopped something in as a joke or a favour. he loves putting things in drinks to make them tastier, like butterscotch chips in coffee or berries in wine, that sort of stuff. but then i realized it was actually a pill that i must have spit back into the bottle by mistake, thinking i swallowed it. i can't imagine that happening but there is no other explanation. the pill tripled in size and was all jelly and weird. grossed out!
